The first time I saw this video I was driving so I was just listening and those marbles in the beginning annoyed the hell out of me. After actually watching this it is the most useful video!!! Thank you.
Thanks for this. I'd hope to see more on this reversed E feature which is still mysterious to me... But you're right... Let's stay curious... Thanks again. Great job.
Greg, I don't think it's an exaggeration to say this module completely changes one's work mode. Understand the basics of just the first half of this video- you're well on your way to understanding the possibilities of modular synthesis- Thanks so much for this!
This is a great video man. I've built out multiple voices in a rack, but have been kind of stumbling and confused about building in some random sequencing components... have spent money on everything from Wogglebug to Shuffling clock multipliers and euclidian circles and blah blah blah. The Turing Machine seemed closest to what i was looking for, and was considering building one, but it seemed a lot of space for only maybe 1/2 the functionality i wanted. I never quite understood what Marbles was, but your intro really helped clarify it for me and i realize now it was what i was looking for.
Seeing kinks hooked up to the scope annoyed me so much 😂So relieved when you saw it. Great video. Though I think maybe you forgot to emphasize that when 'steps' is at 12 o'clock, its not quantized at all. So changing the scales without turning the 'steps' to the right wont really make a difference relative to the selected (and properly tuned) scale.
Sure, at about 20:20 into the video I have it driving the resonator module for a completely different sound. Marbles only outputs triggers and v/oct voltages. It can drive whatever sound you want.
Welcome to the beauty of modular. You can swap in and out whatever sound modules you want to use. Hell, you can even have it drive external synths with great effect.
What a great time to be alive!
Such a handy video :D
Well done for this very comprehensive detailed review of this very useful module with infinite possibilities👍🏻

it's THE favorite module in my case.
this is the best explanation so far ive found, thanks
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks a lot for the explanation!
Thanks now I know how to actually use it
I'm glad it helped :-)
Excellent tutorial, Greg, very clear presentation of a most musical module. :)
Thank you very much.
excellent Greg, thanks a bunch, learned a couple of new things!
Holy shit, this is amazing, thank you!
Awesome Thank you!
Great demo of Marbles virtual or real.
Very well done. Thanks!
God you explained this so well!!!!
Thank you very much
I'd love to see a zoomed out overall screenshot of your patch setups! Great work, you are one of the most informative out there!
Great explanation of the module...so much to explore and play with.
Yup, Marbles is amazing 😊 Thanks Greg.
Fascinating demo! Nice channel, subscribing now! 😍
Thank you so much
Excellent tutorial! Relaxed pace, good choice of waveforms. Better than the manual😊
Thank you very much!

Great job.
Bravo Greg!!! I'm reaching for the rack right NOW!

thanx, nice introduction
love this thing! :)

It wouldn't be a Modular Curiosity episode if I didn't make at least one major mistake. :-)
Adam Sandler AKA Random Sampler
Can it work with more complex waveforms? the bleeps begin to grind after a while
use a different oscillator/sound source? The Random Sampler does not generate sound, only pitches and gates
